Exposed rafter tails will look perfect when installed in exterior walls. These components support the soffit system, cantilever deck, or gable end all of which consist of tongue and groove roof decking and the fascia board or exterior trim board. A rafter tail is also considered, depending on where it is used on a home, as an Outlooker, Outrigger, Lookout, or Tailpiece. The rafter tail are typically scrolled and detailed and is a major component of the soffit system in timber frame construction. This structural element is secured to the top of the exterior wall or tie beam and then projects to support the soffit overhang. i have nobody in my office who can use it to any higher level.Rafter tails are the exposed exterior portion of a building’s wood structural truss that projects beyond the perimeter or exterior walls of the structure. so the questions will probably keep coming. Unfortunately i cant just jump on it for my first project and understand how to create framing. I could have finished it much quicker in CAD but i want to get to grips with revit. I am so pressed for time as we are so busy at the moment i had to convince my manager to let me do this in revit. However, i have only done a three day course (and not a very thourough one either) it would take me alot of time to figure out all these systems and when i try i cannot get anything accurate. I would love to be able to do that, i agree that is what revit should be, a complete working model of the building. Mon, at 7:24:34 PM | exposed rafter tails those drawings win awards every year, but the point is that his builders fight to work on his projects as they love his drawings and life is easy on site. i know of one bdaq member (building designer assoc of queensland) using revit, who models every single piece of framing in a building, and it looks amazing. then your 3d views and right down to detail level will be right with no drafting at all. i would suggest in future you consider doing what mr spot says and model a roof sheet, rafters, even battens. i have adopted the former nearly all the time since, and i can tell you that it saves time over a project, even though it seems labourious at the time. mr spot taught us all a few years ago to think first of using revit as though for a real building, then if needed to revert to drafting techniques on views. Hi have not been here for awhile, and saw mr spot answering. Mon, at 7:38:57 AM | exposed rafter tails saw something about using the ballustrade tool to model them which sounded effective. Just gotta try some of these methods of modelling the exposed rafters, its only a house not a large project. using the invisible line tool which i never even knew about. Mon, at 2:25:34 AM | exposed rafter tails That way the roof surface will still conceal the objects it should be concealling. If it was a particular large project I might just model the rafter tails separately.Īnd no I don't hide in view, I would use the linework tool "Invisible lines" to hide the cut line and redraw it using the correct profile. However, it would also depend on the size of the project. Then I would typically model the rafters as structural beams. I would model the roof as just the Colorbond Cladding. Mon, at 1:58:53 AM | exposed rafter tails Ive found some other threads on creating the rafter ends in elevation, so i guess its just getting the section right without it creating a solid depth on the elevations along the roof where the depth of rafter is shown. do you mean you 'hide in view' the roof on your section drawing and use detail lines to draw over it showing the correct shape rafter end at the eaves? Mon, at 1:53:13 AM | exposed rafter tails in perpendicular sections.Ĭo-Founder | BIM Consultant | Software Designer B. We typically hide the roof model and draw a line based detail component of the appropriate profile. Mon, at 1:42:13 AM | exposed rafter tails
